I don't think there's a positive command anywhere in Scripture that bread and wine, specifically, must be used in the Lord's Supper. Rather, Christians use bread and wine (or grape juice) because those are the items which were used by our Lord in the Supper, and so we follow that example. I don't think following that example rises to the level of a command, though.

In some parts of the world, soda pop is used in the Supper because the water is no good and wine is scarce and expensive. I don't believe the Lord has a problem with that.
